A large military image of the Australian Special Forces also appeared on the large plate and showed signs of rigidity and rigidity. Despite distance and difficulty of access, the Australian authorities chose to address the Iraqi street directly to warn young people and families of being victims of human traffickers by deceiving them by taking them to the remote continent to end up being held in the Pacific Ocean.However, the Iraqis found through the social networking site "Facebook" an outlet to express their views through comments that were characterized by irony and anger, while others felt that the announcement is a correct step to avoid the worst. "The Iraqi may put himself at risk of drowning until he arrives in Australia, as a result of corruption in a country that has expired," one activist said. "This announcement in the heart of Baghdad means that officials in this country have no sense or patriotism, The wealthiest country in the world in terms of wealth ". However, an activist saw something positive as she wrote, "This announcement ostensibly disturbs many people, but inwardly compassion," pointing out that many things must be taken into account. "We have no interest but in our country and our people, so stay in Iraq and build its future again and strike with an iron fist anyone who wishes to undermine the capabilities of Iraq and the future of its people." In contrast to what the activists said, another Iraqi activist pointed to the issue of immigration: "No one is implicating you and going to Australia. It has closed the border three years ago." Many people have been involved in the same problem, advising others to desist from They intended to break through smuggling. In the meantime, the Municipality of Baghdad directed its municipalities in the capital to remove those ads, asserting that the Australian Embassy's announcement is unauthorized and not allowed. Australia has a strict policy to stop illegal immigration to its territory, where Australian authorities intercept and return to smugglers' boats, as well as those who arrive at special detention centers set up on remote islands in the central Pacific. The Australian government has repeatedly confirmed that asylum seekers have no place in their territory.

6-19-2017 Intel Guru RayRen98 STILL EXCITED ABOUT THIS WEEK YIELDING + RESULTS.
6-19-2017 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat So what have we heard lately? Mosul is not an issue. Really? Mosul fighting is an issue for any RV as long as ISIS resistance is still on Iraqi ground. The International Cards are more wide spread and functioning at different rates some as high as $3.71. Really? NO, NO, NO. Why would anyone in Iraq be paid at any “new rate”. A dinar is a dinar. ...the lower denominations...have not yet been launched. They want to get the RV done prior to the end of Ramadan. No – this is only a rumor and I know this not FACT! Ramadan has absolutely no impact on the RV...it doesn't matter when Ramadan starts or finishes. It's proven already to have nothing to do with the RV. It is my opinion we are still in a very good window for early summer for a rate change. Folks- we are very, very close.
6-19-2017 Newshound Guru Aggiedad77 IMO...we all have a good idea what is coming...we just don't know when...or for how much...Why...because we don't give dates or rates...pray that a new journey is on the horizon for you and will be all over you before you know it.....the BEST is coming.....it can be felt in so many ways...be ready...
6-19-2017 Newshound Guru Enorrste [Guru] Mike ...according to Keywords the "reserves" are $47 to $49 billion while you say they are $40 billion. That's a big difference. Also, Keywords says this...: "the amount of foreign currency reserves in the bank exceeds the amount of local currency in Iraqi dinars." Therefore, the money supply must be less than $47 to $49 billion, if Keywords is correct. He is quite specific in the quote above. The Gross Foreign Assets number I quoted is directly on the CBI website under Statistics then under Key Financial Indicators. This is an Excel spreadsheet... The numbers are on line 48 and 49 under Net Foreign Assets and Gross Foreign Assets. Belittling Saleh is a straw man argument. Neither he nor anyone on this forum claims that the dinar NOW is a world reserve currency. Therefore, putting that statement in his mouth and then knocking it down is moot, since he has never stated it. [Reference Guru mike post 6-19-2017...will this spirited debate continue?]
6-19-2017 Newshound Guru Peggy68 I feel CBI removed their first 0 on March 29th and they removed the other 2 (00’s) June 11th. In my opinion, all three 000’s have been removed and with all my heart and soul...that we are waiting for the next great event to come very soon. By the way Wednesday June 14th had a rate in the $2 range. IMO we could see a rate between now and the latest on Forex June 26th.

Through the openings in the walls .. The battle of the old city in Mosul from one house to another
NINEWA, Iraq, June 19 (UPI) - Militant fighters defended their remaining stronghold in the old city of Mosul and stealthily walk through narrow back alleys and move from house to house through holes in the walls as the Iraqi army, anti-terror and federal police advance Iraqi-US air cover.
Sources said the intensity of the fighting retreated from Sunday when Iraqi forces announced the start of the attack on the Old City.
The Old City and a small area north of it are the last two areas of the city still under the control of militants in Mosul, which the organization considered its capital in Iraq.
"This is the final chapter" in the campaign to restore Mosul, said Abdul Ghani al-Asadi, commander of the counterterrorism forces leading the attack.
Lieutenant-Colonel Sami al-Ardhi, commander of the second elite forces of the anti-terrorism forces leading the fighting north of the old city, said militants were moving from house to house through holes in the walls to avoid aerial surveillance.
Fighting now runs from one house to another in narrow back alleys, he said, describing the mission as not easy.
The Iraqi army estimates that the number of militants in the militant organization is no more than 300, down from about 6,000 fighters in the city when the Mosul campaign began on October 17.
More than 100,000 civilians are trapped in the city's narrow alleys without enough food, water and health care.
Save the Children warned in a statement that "an estimated 50,000 children are in serious danger as the fighting in Mosul enters what is likely to be the deadliest stage yet."
The fall of Mosul will effectively mark the end of the Iraqi half of the "Khilafah State," announced by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, a hawkish leader in a speech at the al-Nuri Mosque three years ago that includes parts of Iraq and Syria.
Baghdadi left the fighting in Mosul and Raqqa for field commanders to effectively become a fugitive in the area bordering Iraq and Syria.Finished

Despite distance and difficulty of access, the Australian authorities chose to address the Iraqi street directly to warn young people and families of being victims of human traffickers by deceiving them by taking them to the remote continent to end up being held in the Pacific Ocean. However, the Iraqis found through the social networking site "Facebook" an outlet to express their views through comments that were characterized by irony and anger, while others felt that the announcement is a correct step to avoid the worst.
"The Iraqi may put himself at risk of drowning until he arrives in Australia, as a result of corruption in a country that has expired," one activist said. "This announcement in the heart of Baghdad means that officials in this country have no sense or patriotism, The wealthiest country in the world in terms of wealth ".
However, an activist saw something positive as she wrote, "This announcement ostensibly disturbs many people, but inwardly compassion," pointing out that many things must be taken into account.
"We have no interest but in our country and our people, so stay in Iraq and build its future again and strike with an iron fist anyone who wishes to undermine the capabilities of Iraq and the future of its people."

6-19-2017 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat So what have we heard lately? Mosul is not an issue. Really? Mosul fighting is an issue for any RV as long as ISIS resistance is still on Iraqi ground. The International Cards are more wide spread and functioning at different rates some as high as $3.71. Really? NO, NO, NO. Why would anyone in Iraq be paid at any “new rate”. A dinar is a dinar. ...the lower denominations...have not yet been launched. They want to get the RV done prior to the end of Ramadan. No – this is only a rumor and I know this not FACT! Ramadan has absolutely no impact on the RV...it doesn't matter when Ramadan starts or finishes. It's proven already to have nothing to do with the RV. It is my opinion we are still in a very good window for early summer for a rate change. Folks- we are very, very close.
6-19-2017 Newshound Guru Aggiedad77 IMO...we all have a good idea what is coming...we just don't know when...or for how much...Why...because we don't give dates or rates...pray that a new journey is on the horizon for you and will be all over you before you know it.....the BEST is coming.....it can be felt in so many ways...be ready...
6-19-2017 Newshound Guru Enorrste [Guru] Mike ...according to Keywords the "reserves" are $47 to $49 billion while you say they are $40 billion. That's a big difference. Also, Keywords says this...: "the amount of foreign currency reserves in the bank exceeds the amount of local currency in Iraqi dinars." Therefore, the money supply must be less than $47 to $49 billion, if Keywords is correct. He is quite specific in the quote above. The Gross Foreign Assets number I quoted is directly on the CBI website under Statistics then under Key Financial Indicators. This is an Excel spreadsheet... The numbers are on line 48 and 49 under Net Foreign Assets and Gross Foreign Assets. Belittling Saleh is a straw man argument. Neither he nor anyone on this forum claims that the dinar NOW is a world reserve currency. Therefore, putting that statement in his mouth and then knocking it down is moot, since he has never stated it. [Reference Guru mike post 6-19-2017...will this spirited debate continue?]
6-19-2017 Newshound Guru Peggy68 I feel CBI removed their first 0 on March 29th and they removed the other 2 (00’s) June 11th. In my opinion, all three 000’s have been removed and with all my heart and soul...that we are waiting for the next great event to come very soon. By the way Wednesday June 14th had a rate in the $2 range. IMO we could see a rate between now and the latest on Forex June 26th.
